Re: Why does unreal engine phorealistic character project file has roughness and specular map?
To clear everyones confusion up on this, "specular" input lerps the reflectance between 0 and 100. It has a curve kind of thing applied on it, because when its set to 0.5 it gives the dielectric reflectance which is 4%. When its 1 you get 100 % reflectivity. Setting this lower than .5 gives lower reflectivity than a non… -
Re: Article: Game Art Art
tiling textures: you can "wrap" the coordinate in the shader prior making the look up. You only have to preserve original texture coordinate gradients so that the mipmaps are not screwed. Basically mipmaps are computed from the difference of texture coordinates with quad (2x2 pixel threads). When you do the coordinate… -
Re: Mesh Blend - Tool for Maya inspired by Polystein Kit
@jul_lef Yeah the current algorithm still isn't 100% consistent in the way it scales the geometry, will be improving that in the near future along with the bridging algo too. The thing with the scaling that prevents me of doing it is mostly Maya's broken undo. See, when you import a mesh in a scene, Maya kills your undo… -
Re: Freelance work, how much?
Well it depends if you are trying to live off this and how difficult and unpleasnat the job is. Generally people who want to make a profit will charge 20hr minimum and they estimate how much it will take them to do. So if by some miracle for example you get a project to model a character and it takes you 20 hrs to model… -
Is Steam Greenlight worth it? (In my case)
Hi all. So I've been wondering about Steam Greenlight. I've worked on a level in CryEngine for a year, also modelled, textured, did some concept painting, etc. I didn't get more than four screenshots and a small video (requirements for submission on Greenlight), but from that until I totally finish the game would need so… -
Can you tell if I used cry engine without a doubt?
What do you guys think the odds are that someone would be able to tell 100% without a doubt that I'm using cryengine if I just went ahead and put a video on kickstarter anyway without a license? A few things to me that give it away are- the standard ocean, default sky, and the fog. If I change all these however now were… -
Asset Development for end of semester scene!
Greetings one and all, I thought I would start posting the assets I am working on for a largish mountain scene I am working on.

Proxy Materials and Objects - Vray/Maya
Hi folks! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I have a couple of questions in regards to referencing objects and materials. What I'd like to do is create a library of materials and a library of more complex objects (with hundreds of parts) that would be used again and again for various projects. Then pull those objects… -
Re: maxon zbrush shady practices
Honestly you won't believe how many artists use pirated copies of zbrush. I'm 100% certain that every artist on the zbrush Screensaver has used a pirated zbrush atleast once. Wish pixologic would have sold zbrush to epic or valve rather than Maxon. I know of many artists that use pirated zbrush and then claim the output is…
